The thought of using a leaf blower or a fridge to cool down my $4,000 camera makes my butthole pucker.

It is quite dishonest, but he'll address the overheating issues in a future video to maximize hits / ad revenue. It's why he included BTS footage of them using a LEAF BLOWER to try and cool the camera down.

I'm curious to know if the cameras can overheat taking just photos, since it seems to make the camera quite hot when switching over to video after shooting them? It's bad enough that it overheats in video, but that's even worse.

Shits fucked when the Northrups are one of the few voices that give useful information on these cameras.

Even if the Tilta contraption worked perfectly, I couldn't justify buying these cameras out of principal. Canon shouldn't be rewarded for this.

"I think for most people the overheating is actually really insignificant and you'll probably never have to deal with it." - Matti Haapoja at 11:55 in the video. Anyone that says that, whether they're paid directly or not, is a shill. You have a responsibility, when people are looking at you to make purchasing decisions, to be blunt and not try to protect your relationship with a company at the expense of your viewers. Matti even starts off the video trying to dispel the notion that he's a Canon shill, ignoring the fact that even if he isn't paid directly by Canon and has turned down a business relationship with them, he still profits through YouTube revenue and the access he is given, which has helped him reach nearly a million subscribers. He clearly has benefitted from it, has no problem being used in Canon's marketing machine, and makes excuses and heaps praise on Canon. I mean he even said he's GLAD they didn't add any active cooling, like a fan, to the camera before bashing Sony ("I couldn't even live stream with the A7iii without it overheating and that's without recording!") and making jokes about the overheating on the R5. Because why would you wanna make a camera more usable?! Shameful.

I'm so glad he's back making content regularly. A real unsung hero of the diy filmmaking game, and he did it all before people could make money doing it on YouTube.

No its not. He did it and then proceeded to tell people that he didn't think it'd be an issue for most people, just as I said. Watch the video again. BTW, are you gonna just down vote every post I make or nah?

To hurt other companies mostly. And to be able to claim "first!" for 8K. And with the way some Canon users are, they may make these cameras a success and reward them for it. 😞

I'd like to hear more from Jordan about his test and how he came to that conclusion, but nothing will top Matti putting the camera in the fridge to make sure it's cold MULTIPLE TIMES and then in the same video telling people afterwards that he doesn't think overheating will be an issue for most people.

No one is forcing them to release this camera. No one forced them to not have a fan or some other form of active cooling. Those were deliberate choices. They absolutely, 100% intentionally are releasing a camera that they know has serious overheating problems.

I'm kinda impressed that Canon managed to tout groundbreaking features only to unleash possibly their biggest Canon Cripple Hammer of all time, all at once. 2020 has been tumultuous, to say the least. There's a lot of uncertainty in the world right now, but one thing we can always depend on is Canon is gonna Canon. #Blessed

Edit: apparently they didn't! Focusing looked weird in the court scene. (wouldn't let me edit the post.)

Those scenes are exactly why you don't use AF. Woof.

It'd probably cause the camera to explode.

In tech I imagine it's also difficult to show a judge that has a limited understanding of the subject matter why these patents are bullshit.

2020: the year YouTubers put a camera in the fridge to cool it down, in a review where they recommended the camera. Everything about this year SUCKS!

It doesn't take much to beat Sony in the IBIS department in general. It's not very good at all.

You're not going to see many reviews covering the photo side because it's not going to be used by many photographers. Simply put, the camera isn't made for you apparently.

Matti tested in normal conditions, and after putting the camera IN THE REFRIGERATOR! I don't understand why we can't just get a realistic test. Go test "regular" 4K outside in the hot weather WITHOUT putting it in the fridge first, please. Like seriously, on what planet do you have to live on to put a camera into the fridge and then tell people "most people probably won't experience overheating." It's insane. Like, that's not reassuring... At all!

I can't say I've ever really felt like 4K from my GH5 didn't look good enough when watching it on my 55 inch 4K television. Really most of us aren't watching on TVs that display 4K to its full potential anyway. I don't see a huge advantage to 4K over HD, though I do see an advantage. But it's not huge watching from a normal viewing distance. I think I'd need a much bigger TV to really see a huge difference. That's not to say that they shouldn't downscale 8K or 6K to 4K if they can, but I would prefer beefier data rates personally. That has been Sony's biggest weakness, even more than color and poor IBIS.

You didn't set up the gimbal correctly then? That's weird.

Why are you sharing things you don't bother to watch?

What's Technical Artists angle? Ad revenue?

I think Sony is just concerned with keeping Sony users in the Sony ecosystem with this release. And I think they'll mostly succeed, given the issues/concerns with the R5.
